Alvin Blanco is a writer and editor. He received a BA in African and African American studies and psychology from the University of Virginia. He is former features editor at AllHipHop.com and his work has appeared in Vibe, Spin, XXL, The Source, Village Voice, and other publications.

"The Wu-Tang Clan and RZA: A Trip Inside the 36 Chambers" chronicles the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan from an underground supergroup to a globally recognized musical conglomerate. Enhanced by the author's one-on-one interviews with group members, this book covers the entire Wu-Tang Clan catalog of studio albums, as well as albums that were produced or heavily influenced by producer/rapper RZA. Wu-Tang Clan's albums are analyzed and discussed in terms of their artistry as well as in terms of their critical, cultural, and commercial impact. By delving into the motivation behind the creation of pivotal songs and albums and mining their dense metaphor and wordplay, this book provides an understanding of what made a team of nine friends and relatives from Staten Island with a love of Kung Fu movies into not just a music group, but a powerful cultural movement.

In the second excerpt from our interview with Wu-Tang Clan legends Method Man and Masta Killa, the iconic emcees discuss their upcoming individual releases and film work.

"When you see us individually it's Wu-Tang regardless," Masta Killa tells SoulCulture TV, flagging up his new solo album Loyalty Is Royalty, due for release "around September/October" with a guest feature from Redman and Method Man on a song. "I've definitely got a few treats for you," he smiles.

The duo also reveal that Method Man's own forthcoming The Crystal Meth album will feature production from Erick Sermon, Rockwilder and RZA along with some underground artists, with his Blackout! 3 LP due to follow next year along with a Muddy Waters 2 album from Redman.

Method also reveals he's working on film sequel How High 2; "I just sent some money over for a script to be written, we already got the gist of the idea so... that should be interesting to see how that's gonna turn out. We're trying to get that done by next year too."
